A few days later, it was nearly dusk.

The Clover will be able to escape this dangerous sea tomorrow and reach the port of Behrens in West Byron in two days.

But bad luck seems to have haunted the ship, which was supposed to be lucky.

As the low siren sounded, Esther and Mary were practicing the pronunciation of Dutan with Alexander. Esther learned the language much more quickly than Mary, and her familiarity with Gufsak gave her the advantage of converting similar word compositions.

At the sound of the siren, Mary jumped up from her chair and rushed out of the door, and Alexander raised her head at Esther, motioning for her to go with her.

As for Alexander himself, who walked up to the deck after a minute, carrying three boxes in his hand, ready for his enemy.

Esther was already standing beside Aaron, who was watching the movement in the distance with a telescope in his hand.

Alexander went to Aaron's side and put down the box, and began to erect some kind of mechanical creation on the deck that no one could understand: "What's the situation? ”

Aaron adjusted his binoculars, trying to see the unknown ship: "Intuitively, I know it's a pirate ship, and there's only one, a large pirate ship. Let me see, the other party seems to be approaching, that's ...... I grass! It's a 'death number'! It's the ship of the 'Immortal King' Agaritu! ”

Without hesitation, Thoma turned his head and shouted at everyone: "Sail full!" The steam engine burns to the maximum! Burn the wind! Burn the wind! ”

Alexander's hand didn't stop, but his face turned even paler: "It's a super large ship, even if it's a single sailboat, we may not be able to run away!" ”

Esther frowned, subconsciously rubbed her hands, and the feather-like pattern on her hands turned dark green again: "'Death Number' is very special? ”

There was a hint of fear on Mary's face, and she didn't try to hide her true thoughts compared to the composure of the others: "It's a ghost ship that is extremely famous, and what drives it most is its extraordinary power." You've probably heard of Agaritu's style of being a murderous and reckless attack on anyone or ship it encounters, with only the other three of the 'Four Kings' still alive behind their enemies. ”

Ace nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little heavier in her heart.

But the next development made everyone even more uneasy, and in Aaron's telescope, the other party was also full of sails, and quite "enthusiastically" sailed in the direction of the "Clover".

Now, even without binoculars, others could clearly see the black tombstone on the sail, which looked like a moon wheel turned up from end to end, and the entire hull was painted like a black tombstone, with three rows of guns scattered on the sides.

Compared with this "Death", the "Clover" is as petite as a toy ship, and it will definitely not be able to withstand a bombardment from the other side.

However, even as the "Clover" increased its speed to the extreme, the huge "Death" continued to close the distance between the two, and the outline appeared more and more clearly in everyone's sight.

It seemed to have its sights on the "Clover", biting the ship that had been running away from a long distance.

Esther took a deep breath, knowing that if she continued like this, she would only be chased closer: "Captain Aaron, don't we use that magical item that can travel through the spirit world?" ”

Of course, Aaron also saw the speed of the "Death Number", and knew that it was not a way to go on like this: "The risk is too great, tomorrow night is the full moon, and the side effects of that extraordinary item will make the person who uses it die directly!" ”

Alexander's hand suddenly moved: "I can try." ”

"Don't even think about it!" Aaron rejected his offer.

Alexander's gaze under the heavy lenses was very indifferent, and it was chillingly peaceful: "A boatload of people is of course more important than a person. ”

Esther patted Aaron on the shoulder, "Let me try?" Don't worry, I'm not going to run away with it. ”

Alexander glanced at her disapprovingly, the barrel of the cannon in his hand was finally set, and he gestured for the other two sailors to come and watch the barrel, ready to fire, and he reached out and pulled the key to the storage room that Aaron hung from his waist.

Aaron didn't stop him, yet his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together.

Alexander turned and walked towards the cabin, and Esther hurried after him. Aaron gritted his teeth and shouted at the two, "Hamel! Then let Hamel come! ”

Alexander walked briskly to the location of the collection room, and Esther followed him closely: "Let me try, Mr. Alexander, I can't let you risk your life. ”

"It's none of your business, you're a guest of the Clover."

"Now that I'm on this ship, I'm a member of this ship! The people on this ship are a community of destiny, and since I have the confidence to bear that kind of whispering, I can't watch you risk your life! ”

Alexander did not stop, and with a rare look of surprise, his face became even more gloomy, but he did not refute Esther's words.

It wasn't until he stuffed the key into the hole that Alexander calmed down and began to tell Esther how to use the necklace:

"After putting it on, place your hand on the middle gem, rub it clockwise three times, and then imagine in your mind how big a spiritual rift you are going to open, and spread your hands to both sides. Imagine its location a little further away and give the Clover plenty of time to prepare.

"Once you put on the necklace, you're going to start to face that non-stop babbling, and you'd better hold it until we get to the bow of the boat and put it around our necks."

Esther nodded vigorously, this method of use is very simple, but this negative effect is too difficult to avoid.

And Isther is different from others in that she has a very high-profile "Zoya" hidden in her mind, and Esther will not lose control in the face of babbling, but can clearly capture the meaning of babbling.

Alexander's voice was a little vague: "You think about it, you don't have to get involved in this, and I won't necessarily die of whispering." ”

"Please allow a young man's willfulness."

"Just because you're a young man......"

Alexander shook his head, lifted the lid on the outside of the irregular gemstone necklace, and watched as Esther reached for it.

She smelled a strange fragrance again.

There is nothing special about the touch of this gemstone necklace, but the temperature is higher, and it feels warm in the hand, without the coldness that jewelry materials should have.

Esther followed Alexander, and the two made their way to the bow, where Aaron was already waiting, and Thoma continued to observe the condition of the Death in the stern, directing the other sailors to slow down the ship and give the Clover enough time to cross the spiritual rift.

Aaron looked at the necklace in Esther's hand: "We only have five minutes, and in about five minutes, the Clover may be in the maximum range of the Death. ”

He didn't say anything more, but his wandering gaze revealed Aaron's nervous feelings.

Alexander raised his palm in the direction of the front of the bow: "Ladies first." ”

Esther smiled and replied to him, "What an anachronistic joke. ”

Aaron urged. "While I haven't changed my decision, my spiritual instinct is convinced that this is better, hurry up."

Esther didn't hesitate any longer, letting the necklace go through her head and land on her neck.

Her eyes widened in astonishment, for what she heard was not a whisper, but a painful, faint cry, desperate and painful, pleading over and over again, even switching between languages.

But now was not the time to heed the cry for help, and Esther ignored the familiar voice in her sorrow, which she was sure she had heard somewhere before.

Esther's right hand rested on the largest gem in the middle of the necklace, turning it clockwise three times, and she raised her gaze to imagine a wide arch in the sea ahead, then put her hands together and slowly pulled them apart to the sides.

"Let's go." Esther whispered to the Clover.

At the moment when the spiritual world and reality merged, the intertwined shadows of color appeared in Esther's specific place, and a gust of wind lifted from it, and the "Clover" easily rode a wave that was stirred, and the green light curtain spread out on the hull of the ship, condensing into a huge circle of emerald green bubbles.

The ship slammed into the arched spiritual passage, diligently following Esther's orders.

In the violent shaking, the "four-leaf clover" rushed into the spirit world, and everyone it carried felt different degrees of oppression, and the spiritual channel formed by the necklace was not stable, but it was still within the tolerance of ordinary people.

As luck would have it, the four-leaf clover had rushed through the arch before the crack in the spirit realm behind the ship that had been forcibly opened suddenly collapsed, cutting off a foamy current.

The "Death", which had lost its prey, still sailed close to the sea with a lot of foam remaining, and circled in vain for a moment, but because the "Clover" itself has anti-divination properties, it could not continue to follow the unknown spiritual passage.

The great black coffin-like ship raised its sails and headed east in the raging sea, abandoning the force that had drawn it in the first place.

On the other hand, the "four-leaf clover" that escaped the catastrophe is not in good condition.

Ever since entering the spiritual rift, Esther had closed her eyes, and she felt the light under her eyes leaking out uncontrollably, worried about affecting Alexander and Aaron behind her.

The incessant cries for help were drowned out by an even stronger hum, patterns of feathers and silver filaments spreading from her hands to her arms and body, white bone fragments condensing on the outside of her arms, obscuring the twisted cracks below.

Those wound-like cracks were not substance, but a dislocation between the virtual and the real, and without the resistance of these bone fragments, Esther knew that she would most likely "disintegrate" under the guidance of the spirit world, and dissipate here without shedding a drop of blood.

Just like a file to be formatted, when the anomaly is removed, it loses its autonomy and forcibly integrates into a part of the spirit world.

Esther finally knew where her "spiritual instincts" were coming from to resist the spirit world.

She leaned against the fence and looked up at the very front of the turbulent Clover.

Ahead is the end of the spiritual passage.
